Amsterdam Castle was built in 1895 by Isaac G. Perry, and is a former National Guard Armory located in Amsterdam, NY.[2] Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[3][4] Amsterdam Castle was decommissioned in 1995, and purchased by the Diana family from the State of New York. The Dianas began the original renovation, and transformation of the building into a private residence. In 2005 the Phemister family purchased the building, and continued the extensive renovation originally begun by the Diana's. Currently the property is still used as a private residence, and bed and breakfast. Of the 100 armories built in New York, Amsterdam Castle was the only armory converted into a home.
